Aptly named ‘Common Ground’, to show a mutual love of sport and good coffee, the venue has opened following a full renovation and the installation of Origin Bi-fold Doors.
Speaking about the new venture, three-time Olympian Fran said:
“The whole idea came about just after the Rio Olympics. We used to eat here all the time, so when a unit became available, it was too good an opportunity to miss.”
The business partners set about planning the space in November 2016. By March, the lease was signed and building work began, taking only five weeks to complete.
Minimalist and Scandinavian in style, with rustic wooden tables and an unusual sit up bar made from natural wood, the café is perfect for those hoping to enjoy the British summer.
Origin Bi-folding Doors at the front and back of the café, both three door sets, open up entirely to the outside. Powder-coated in Anthracite grey, they were chosen specifically to match the café’s quirky décor.
As Fran explains:
“We’ve made the best use of space by installing the Origin Bi-folding Doors, which are amazing. They fully fold back so people can sit and have their coffee in the fresh air. At the other side of the café is another set of doors to what we call the ‘Zen Den’, a relaxing courtyard and seating area. It’s minimalist and Scandinavian in style, with pastel green and grey décor. The bi-fold doors certainly make it a beautiful space to enjoy a cuppa.”
The open plan style also means that the owners’ dogs can equally enjoy the space. Jess, Liam and Fran are all dog-lovers, and the bi-fold doors mean that their four-legged friends can sit at the front of the café and watch the world go by, while Fran and her business partners are serving up a range of both healthy treats and not-so healthy baked goods and cakes.
The café kitchen is still under construction, but once complete it will also be serving up hot meals, with a brunch menu on the horizon.
